The first step is to
Get in touch with me via email to arrange a free 15 mins zoom meeting in which you can tell me about your circumstances and the things that brought you to contact me. This is also a chance to see if we are the right fit for each other and how we can work together. If we decide that we would like to continue working together, we will arrange a regular weekly appointment which will last 50 minutes.
My approach is that
Initially we will concentrate on building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship before we will explore your goals in more depth, look at pathways to achieve them and understand potential obstacles. I believe that each person is unique in the way that they experience life with all its dilemmas, conflicts, traumas, contradictions, and aspirations. These may encompass general daily anxieties or complex and difficult situations. I hence will try to understand your particular experiences from your perspective. Everyone of us is shaped by past experiences, and often these can impact present ones. Together we might explore these patterns that you have developed in the past to ensure safety and look at how they are part of your life today. This includes how your wider context – your family, community and broader socio-political factors – might have shaped your life.
